Functional near-infrared spectroscopy is an emerging non-invasive brain sensing technique that can provide valuable cognitive state information to a user interface. In this paper, we describe fNIRS technology, consider important attributes of fNIRS data, and propose some suggestions for using fNIRS for meaningful interaction.

Research has shown that we unconsciously interact with computers in a social manner. We speculate that viewing adaptive interfaces in a social context can be a helpful framework for design. We can create meaningful adaptations – natural and intuitive – by examining how humans adapt to social cues in social situations. This paper will briefly outline the background of computers as social agents, as well as list potential applications of design.

* ‘“Movemental”: Integrating Movement and the Mental Game’ is scheduled for release later on.
